Featured Fan - Markie

Name: Markus

Username: Markie

Location: The Hague in the Netherlands.

Been a fan since: (long!) 1991.

Favourite Sting song: My favourite Sting song is 'Mad About You'. I love the bible theme in the song, such a great song. I also love 'Until' from the Kate & Leopold soundtrack.

Favourite Police song: 'King Of Pain'.

Favourite Sting album: 'The Soul Cages'.

Favourite Police album:  'Synchronicity'.

Most memorable concert: Also not easy to say. My favourite is I think the 19 November 1991 in Den Bosch. I just love the Soul Cages' songs and Sting had such a great band at the time. But I also loved the soundcheck (with so many thanks to the fanclub) at 17th November 2022. It was just a marvellous midday. Also thanks to the fanclub I had the change to ask Sting a question in the program of Beay on RTL 4 at 29 November 2023 where Sting was to perform an acoustic version of 'Message in a Bottle'. That was such a marvellous evening. I was also with Sting on stage at the Paradiso during the encores which was much fun and I have such good memories with the Albert Hall shows in 1993, 1996 and 2000.

Other favourite bands: I love Teddy Swims, Amy MacDonald, Alanis Morrisette, Mika, The Pet Shop Boys, K's Choice, Noa, Krezip, Jason Mraz and lots of others.

In Your Own Words: Sting will be always my favourite artist, seeing him many times all around Europe. He is such a good musician, good lyrics, also in bad times he makes my world more bright. I hope he will perform a long time. He makes my life worth!
